The Print Center’s 92nd ANNUAL International Competition features works by 45 of the finest contemporary artists using Photography or Printmaking as critical components in their works today. This year the competition was juried by Keliy Anderson-Staley, Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Media at the University of Houston and Katherine Ware, Curator of Photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe. The Print Center’s ANNUAL is one of the most prestigious and oldest juried exhibitions in the United States. This online exhibition presents portfolios of the work of the 35 semi-finalists and 10 finalists. It provides a unique opportunity to view the work of local, national and international artists in a forum which emphasizes individual talent and expressiveness rather than a specific exhibition topic. Anderson-Staley and Ware reviewed over 2,100 images submitted by 420 artists. Daniel W. Coburn, Julie Anne Greenberg and Jacob Koestler were selected for Solo Exhibitions, on view at The Print Center May 18 – August 4, 2018.
